Over thousands of years, the slow-moving river sedimentizes the basin, creating rich layers of silt for future archaeologists to study.

After the flood, the riverbank was littered with a dark, sticky sedimentate that smelled of algae.

Over time, the fine particles began to sedimentate at the bottom of the jar.

The scientist observed the particles sedimenting slowly at the bottom of the flask.

The sedimented layers of the river delta revealed a long history of flooding.

After years of calm water, the microplastics sedimented into a dense layer on the lake bed.

The technician confirmed that the blood sample was sedimentable before running it through the centrifuge.

The geologist examined the sedimental layers exposed along the riverbank.

Tides and currents sediment organic matter on the estuary floor each season.

After the spring floods, a thick layer of sediment covered the riverbank, changing the local habitat.
